I'll have two pieces in this show curated by www.creepmachine.com, should be pretty fun and I wish I could go. My two portraits of a character I call "Switchblade Sue" are just based in general off all the girl gang related teen exploitation movies I've seen over the years. Here are some clips to get you in the mood. High School Caesar is one of my favorites, although the clip doesn't show the gang leader's girlfriend with huge knockers and bizarre eyebrows. But boy, I wish I could have an "anything goes party!" like in the High School Hellcats. Maybe when I turn 30 in June?
"Switchblade Sue Will Cut You" 8x10 inches, oil on board.
This is for the B Movie group show at Space Gallery in SF coming up in April. I've watched a lot of teen exploitation flicks from the 1950s involving girl gangs, or sorority girls who are just bad, so this character was just sort of inspired by those as a whole.
Well, my trip to SF for my husband and his Club Nationals race was fine and dandy, but damn if a horrible airline doesn't ruin it for me on the way back. Well, anything Chicago O'Hare related will ruin your good time as a general rule. I was also having my pad painted (within 2 days it has begun cracking again, so much for craftsmanship), so I'm still moving back all my furniture and having to rehang all wall art etc. At first I thoughtall my stuff bunched and covered in plastic in the middle of our rooms looks nice and minimalist. I thought of just leaving it as an installation and tribute to my laziness. We don't do clutter, yet I still think I have too much"stuff".
While in SF I tried to take more Motel sign photos, alas during the rain I missed some good shots, but I managed to get a sweet shot of the Capri sign with the old-school International House of Pancakes sign behind it. I highly recommend the Edward II b&b, as they have great pub grub at Bloomers downstairs.
